West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic is delighted with their deal for former Leeds United fullback Sam Byram.

The 22-year-old right-back has been a regular in the Elland Road first-team for the past four years and chose West Ham over Everton on the expectation of greater playing opportunities.

"We delighted to have signed Sam Byram," Bilic said. “He's a great buy for us. He's still young, he's English and he has a lot of experience.

“I like working with young, hungry players. I have been very honest with him about what I expect, and where we think he can improve.

“He's been on our radar for quite a while and we have very high hopes and expectations for him."
